history
Between 1892 and 1916, 25 new schools were built in Bremen, some of which - strictly separated - accepted girls. In the west of Bremen, the population doubled at the beginning of the 20th century. The free school Elisabethstraße (1896), elementary school on Steffensweg (1905), school on Vegesacker Straße (1911), elementary and secondary school on Waller Ring and elementary school Helgolander Straße (1916) were built in central Walle.
This four-storey elementary school on Helgolander Strasse from 1916 was planned and executed in the style of reform architecture by the Bremen Building Inspectorate (later the Bremen Building Department ). The corner building with an L-shaped floor plan has a facade made of unplastered red clinker brickwork, which is accentuated in the base zone ( basement and ground floor) and on the building edges by horizontal grooves. On the hipped roof there is a central ridge turret that is effective in the cityscape.
After its initial temporary military use as a military hospital , the school was inaugurated as a primary school in 1919. The boys 'school received the building wing on Vegesacker Straße with 16 classes, the girls' school with 16 classes on Helgolander Straße. From 1924 to 1933 there was a branch dedicated to higher education for the girls.
In 1926 the school was given a school camp in Ristedt . A mural was created around or after 1920 with the collaboration of the Bremen artist Christian Arnold , who was persecuted by the Nazis; the mural was painted over, exposed again in 1996 and restored.
After disputes in the experimental school on Schleswiger Strasse , some reformers moved to this school in 1924 under the leadership of Friedrich Aevermann . Until 1933 it was an experimental school for reform pedagogy for boys and girls in order to practically research new possibilities of learning motivation and didactics . The school reformer and writer Carl Dantz worked until 1933 a. a. at the experimental school and put forward his reforms in practice. He was dismissed by the Nazis in 1933, and from that year the school was purely a boys' elementary school. From 1945 to 1952 Dantz was the headmaster of the school.
For the student teachers of secondary schools since there was a February 1946 study seminar in college Helgolander road, which was later moved to other places.
In the Bremer education the elementary school to changed after 1945 main and means - or junior high school , and the school after 1975 the center of the secondary . The integration of both branches began in 1968 at this secondary school.
Around and after 1980 there were some extensions at the school such as a. the cafeteria, rooms for science classes, computer rooms and language laboratories . The orientation level of this school was in the building Melanchthonstraße 150. The school buildings at Stephanitor belonged to the school center. The school has been an all-day school since 2006 .
The school was completely renovated around and after 2000 for around 9.3 million euros.
Oberschule Helgolander Straße
The secondary schools in Bremen were created when the general state school system in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen was reclassified into a two-tier system with 34 secondary schools (from 2015). There are seven secondary schools in Bremen-West, including the Helgolander Straße secondary school.
In grades 5 to 10, around 520 students are taught by around 40 teachers at the school (as of 2017). In the school cooperation West , the Oberschule Helgolander Straße, the comprehensive school Bremen-West and the school center Rübekamp (grammar school and vocational school) are combined in a network to organize continuous courses of education from grade 5 to the Abitur or advanced courses.
